Message: <blockquote data-quote="Helldritch" data-source="post: 8391983" data-attributes="member: 6855114">Yep, charisma as casting ability is weird for some classes.I would have liked to see charisma as a prerequiste for certain classes but a prerequisite with no bearing on casting.Example: I've always seen warlock constitution based casters because they need to chanel the power their patron gives them. The prerequisite in charisma would have been to have "convinced" their patron to give them powers. Something akin to witchcraft in the middle ages.Palladins would have been the same, a prerequisite in charisma because they need to have a strong personnality, to be shinning examples of knighthood. But they would use wisdom for their spells. (I know, Palladins are no longer attached to a god... a terrible mistake IMHO).The only two that would need charisma would be the bards and sorcerers. These make sense. But for these, I would have imposed an other stat as a prerequisite. Constitution for sorcerers as they do channel their inner power to casts spells. Intelligence for bards as they need that for almost all their other class abilities related to knowledge. But we are in an era that do not require "prerequisite" so... Note: For me a prerequisite would a 14. And if you wanted to multiclass in these, it would take a 16. That would mean a lot of commitment  to multiclass in those so that a single dip would not be that great. But this would also required point buy or rolling as the standard array isn't perfect for this kind of shenanigan.</blockquote>
